We don't have these formats in Europe, so it can be a bit confusing. HAC is basically pop radio that is catering a bit more to adult audiences and often plays artists that are still successful, but not in their prime anymore. Kelly Clarkson and P!nk, for example, are among the strongest HAC forces. It's basically like pop radio, but a bit less success-oriented and less commercial. Another difference is that pop radio is inclined to play everything that's popular (also rap songs), meanwhile HAC focuses on pop. I think it becomes clear when you compare the HAC charts with the normal pop radio charts: https://kworb.net/radio/

Still a mess because many songs are in both charts in a different position
